Comment to 'Help with dog aggressive dog'
  • Hi Wolf, I think Kynda's a perfect dog too, she's exactly what I was looking for when I was trying to find a dog. I don't want to change her, I would like for me to learn what to do when Kynda does act aggressivley. I also like the idea that Gary was saying about desensitizing her, I'd like to try that with her. Also we are going to find some signs that say "No Dogs Allowed" and put them on our fence. Lots of people seem to think that they can let their dogs loose in our yard which Kynda just hates. When people walk their dogs past our place, Kynda will bark at them. I tell her enough. If she doesn't listen, I call her, put her in a down and stay until she is behaving. Once she is good and quiet, I tell her okay and let her go look again. If she barks again, I tell her enough. If she's not quiet then we do the same thing again. I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do, but she does seem to listen to "enough" better now. I will be doing some more obedience work with her, and I'm also going to get the rest of my family to do some with her too. I've done all the training with her, so she listens to me quite well, but she can have selective hearing with the others. I don't know if she would have listened to me if I was there. She has before in the same kind of situation. Thanks Wolf. I would much rather have a dog that is dog aggressive then human aggressive. Kynda's great with people, I am really happy with her. Take care, Jess
